RNH and Dutch have almost the exact same stats across the board (minus Faceoffs, Duchene holds the edge in that) and this is considered a bad year for Duchene. RNH is bouncing back nicely after some tough injury seasons but I dont think he is considered debatable yet with Duchene.

I know you love RNH but he still needs to progress to get to where Duchene has been for a few seasons now. Both Young and I think RNH has the higher ceiling for a more complete Center but hes not there now.

Duchene is currently better than Nuge imo

They are both 1A/1B centers when it comes down to it. Are they true beast numbers 1s? No, but those are more and more rare. The league isnt filled with Thortons, Malkins, and Getzlafs.

"Additionally, these grades are for individuals but if we start to look at them as a team you have to start compounding them. If a line consists of 3 players with grades in the C's then what we're really getting is bad mixed with bad mixed with bad. As a line they may grade out significantly worse than their individual marks."

??????WHAT??????

Guess what the average grade of three C's is? Oooooh I know I know...is it an F? Yes, Mr. Henderson...you get an F.

I appreciate that you wrote this blog though, and thank you...but stop trying to do math (for your own sake and ours).

I think you are misinterpreting what Hendo was saying, although i don't think he wrote it best to begin with. I believe the point is that if you take a player graded as a C and put them on a line with an A and B, there grade will probably skew higher than if they played with a bunch of players that have been graded as a C. Over a long period of time, if played together a bunch of players currently graded as C's would likely be D's or worse

The average of 3 variables with the same value somehow becomes less??? So you are saying an average of 30, 30 and 30 is less than 30 and you are telling Hendo not to do math?

Ok talent evaluator, would you have RNH in your top 20 centres this season? Not potential or trade value. Just a better centre than 20 others in the league.
- bloatedmosquito

No, but he has been better than people seem to think.

Don't tease us. Like seriously if you say you are done, then please take your lack of knowledge about hockey, and anything in life in general and (frank) off.

I think you are asking the wrong question. It should be how much alcohol/drugs and consecutive hours awake, did it take for H.A. to pass out?

His comments come in a nicer, fluffier, less arrogant package. When he makes a point like this that i don't fully agree with, but can understand the logic, its easier to have a nice spirited debate with him.

Is that what you were looking for?

Got it. Got to put on the mittens before we go out and play.

No what we are saying is that the player grades are taken in a vacuum based on where they have been playing. If player XX grades out at C while playing with lander and purcell, is it not reasonable to think they would grade higher playing with hall and nuge? is it also not reasonable to assume that if a different player Y is graded out at a C while playing with nuge and hall, that playing them with lander and purcell could lead to all 3 of their grades dropping?

we are probably looking at this 2 different ways, so i can see the source of confusion. that said.

Well he was talking about taking shots/swigs for every post that made him laugh (around page 9/10) and then I skipped forward.





And yes, he WAS probably sleep posting. The posts were too coherent for his normal drunk/drugged posts

If the Flames were offered RNH for Monahan I am not so sure I would be happy if they pulled the trigger.

We can go at it with kid gloves, or we can go at it bare knuckle boxing. i don't care one way or the other, just don't expect to get a ton of respect or people agreeing with you when you start bringing the arrogance

Pretty sure we can just ship him to San Francisco and he can spend a day downtown and have this administered to him by any number of guys there.

No Frenchie actually knows what he is talking about, is able to back up his claims with objectivity, and is not just a general fuc#tarded troll such as yourself. So the reaction is no where near this, or the same as you get.
